Some people have been a bit anal about this post.

So as the people behind it, we’d like to say sorry from the bottom of our hearts.

The last thing we want is to make anyone feel bummed out by our content, and we hope this apology digs us out of a hole.

When I was 6 years old, Israel dropped bombs disguised as toys on us in Lebanon.

New report reveals that Israel left behind bombs disguised as toys in Gaza.

Today, a cluster bomb shaped like a small football found in South Lebanon.

But keep talking about Israel not targeting children.

Long before unionist fascists were scared by and "protested" against "immigrants" they were protesting against young, primary school 7/8/9 year old native Irish Catholic girls who they attacked with urine filled balloons, bags of human excrement, used condoms and blast bombs.

For anyone unaware of the Belfast riots, thinking this is an Irish revolution then watch this young lad break it all down.

Know who the rioters are!
Loyalist = Loyal to 🇬🇧
Republican = Irish 🇮🇪

These rioters will be burning our flag 🇮🇪 in a few weeks!

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

1 in 20 Catholic families were burned out of their homes in Belfast in 1969.

As one scholar put it, at the time it was "the largest forced population movement in Western Europe since the Second World War."

Esta noche, la última aldea totalmente cristiana de Palestina, Taybeh, que ha estado habitada por más de 5.000 años, ha sido prendida fuego por los colonos sionistas, que incendiaron los campos y lanzaron cocteles molotovs contra las casas.

Mientras intentan hacer pasar al sionismo como amigo de los cristianos, la realidad es que son supremacistas que odian a todos los que no sean ellos y prenden fuego a sus casas cada día en Cisjordania.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

BREAKING:

Israeli settlers are burning Taybeh in occupied Palestine.

A village that has stood for thousands of years.

A place where Jesus once walked.

Home to the oldest living Christian community in the world.

And not a peep from Western mainstream media.

A short history of the great British improvement.

They came for beef dripping. We got margarine, then seed oils, then a cardiac ward in every hospital.

They came for butter. They told your grandmother it would kill her husband. The replacement was a tub of palm oil emulsified with rapeseed and a yellow dye, and her husband died of a heart attack in 1989 anyway.

They came for full-fat milk. We got skimmed milk, a vitamin D deficiency epidemic in children, and a cereal aisle fortified to plug the gap.

They came for mutton, the meat that fed every shepherd, miner, and mill worker for six hundred years. We got a chicken breast injected with water and a turkey twizzler.

They came for the kipper. We got a Findus boil-in-the-bag, dyed orange, and a fish oil capsule sold at the chemist to make up for the omega-3 nobody is eating.

They came for wool. We got polyester fleece, and microplastics in human placentas. Every one tested. Sixty-two out of sixty-two.

They came for leather. We got synthetic shoes that delaminate in eighteen months, and a high street with no cobbler.

They came for the cotton nappy. We got the disposable, and a landfill that will outlast the child wearing it.

They came for the cast iron pan handed down three generations. We got Teflon, and a forever chemical now found in 98% of British rivers.

They came for the wooden bowl your grandmother kneaded dough in. We got Tupperware, then BPA, then "BPA-free" plastic containing compounds we have not yet bothered to measure.

Now they are coming for the cow herself. The replacement is a textured pea isolate, extruded in a factory in the American Midwest, packaged in plastic, and marketed as the ethical option by a company called Cargill, who happen to be the third-largest meat processor in the United States.

Every traditional material we have been told to give up was working perfectly, for free, for centuries. Every industrial replacement has been worse for the body, worse for the land, and considerably better for the shareholders of the company that sold it.

The pattern is not subtle, and the people running it are not embarrassed.

Your great-grandmother is no longer here to call it.

You are.

@archer_rs I generally enquire if the scammer’s mother has completed her syph**is treatment …

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

@EulaliaBee @ick_real I love this name - the cathedral of Barcelona is named after St Eulalia, who died as a martyr in 303AD; and there’s a lovely village on Ibiza named for her 👍

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.

@Patriota_81 The State of the Holy See has very few citizens, far fewer than could sustain the state viably. The income from visitors to the Vatican Museums keeps the city state going, and pays for other church activities. Were the patrimony sold, visitors, and income, would disappear

@paynenotes1 @Kenzi63545588Mc @P_G_Anderson The organisation was established by Jesus Christ.
There are 24 Catholic Churches, but Protestants in the English state denomination only seem to know of the Latin rite.
It is, however, very likely that these sisters are Latin-rite Catholics, perhaps the OP meant that 🤷🏻‍♂️
